About the author

Was an American cartoonist and animator, best known for the comic strip Little Nemo (begun 1905) and the animated cartoon Gertie the Dinosaur (1914). For legal reasons, he worked under the pen name Silas on the comic strip Dream of the Rarebit Fiend.
A prolific artist, McCay's pioneering early animated films far outshone the work of his contemporaries, and set a standard followed by Walt Disney and others in later decades. His comic strip work has influenced generations of artists, including creators such as William Joyce, André LeBlanc, Moebius, Maurice Sendak, Chris Ware and Bill Watterson.

Just started. So far, as excellent as the 1st volume - Finished this. Now that I've finished this, it was more sporadic in it's excellence. Part of this may be becuase I read it all at one ime. I resided in Slumberland for several weeks (even rewatching the animated feature which is not 1/2 bad) All in All I'm glad I read it and would reccomend it.

While not as good as the earlier stuff, Volume Two of Little Nemo was still a delightful and creative read. Winsor McCay does not get enough credit.
